Eduard Bohlen

Namibia

Eduard Bohlen was a ship that was stranded on the Skeleton Coast of German Southwest Africa (now Namibia) while offloading equipment for a diamond mine on 5 September 1909 in a thick fog. After attempts made by marine vessel Otavi to get her afloat failed, the ship became entrenched in the sand. It was used afterwards as a 'hotel' by workers of the mine until the closing of the mine. The wreck currently lies in the sand 400 m (1, 300 ft) from the shoreline.
